flattens out the part of expr at position {i,j,…}.

FlattenAt[expr,{{i1,j1,…},{i2,j2,…},…}]

flattens out parts of expr at several positions.

Scope  (1)

FlattenAt can splice the arguments of any expression, not just lists:

Properties & Relations  (2)

For lists, FlattenAt[list,pos] is equivalent to MapAt[Splice,list,pos]:

For a general expression, FlattenAt[expr,pos] is equivalent to MapAt[Delete[0],expr,pos]:

Possible Issues  (1)

FlattenAt removes the head of the expression at the specified position:
